bounty of bright breeze—

ribbons and laces askew

leapfrog on leap day

war and peace

not always

creeping ivy

through the wagon handle

the decisions

I make

by indecision

I write home

city square

the clink of loose change

into the busker's hat

the sweet melodies

of a weary busker

in his place

in my bed

the cat

half moon

hides in the pine...

words left unsaid

in bloom…

the scent of light

of your hand cream

the painter carefully rounds

a blossom

I watch a candle

warm itself

on my wall

I want that passion

in the yellow haze

Sharon Ferrante



I always

tell the truth—

it was me

who threw Jupiter

her little moons

Sharon Ferrante



I wonder

if I leave my cloak

in your cold forest

will it take away

your shiver?
